Laparoscopic Biliary Reoperation / 中国微创外科杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To evaluate the feasibility and clinical efficacy of laparoscopic biliary reoperation. Methods From May 2000 to May 2007, 105 patients received laparoscopic biliary reoperation, including choledocholithotomy and T-tube drainage in 96 cases, Roux-en-Y anastomosis of the gallstone/hepatic-duct in 5, and liver resection in 4. Results The operations were completed in all the 105 patients without severe complications. The operation time was 60-185 min [mean, (125.3?23.2) min]. Intraoperative blood loss was 15-310 ml [mean, (21.1?8.6) ml]. The patients stayed at hospital for 5-9 days after the operation. The 5 patients, who underwent Roux-en-Y anastomosis of the gallstone/hepatic-duct, were followed up for 6 to 65 months [mean, (13.2?8.6)months]. Partial liver resection was performed in 2 cases (resection of the left hepatic lobe in 2, and the right lobe in 2); they were followed up for 8-25 months [mean, (10.2?3.6)months]. In the 96 patients, who received laparoscopic choledocholithotomy and T-tube drainage, the follow-up were lasted for 3-72 months [mean, (13.2?9.6)months]. None of the patients who were followed up had recurrence of gallbladder stone. Conclusions Laparoscopic biliary reoperation is feasible and safe with minimal trauma to patients.
